Sanctions

Student Conduct Sanctions

Sanctions are intended to stop inappropriate behavior and deter any subsequent violations.
To restore community, sanctions will be appropriately tied to the offense and tailored
to repair actual harm done. Sanctions may include revocation of campus privileges,
restitution, community service, educational projects and/or other appropriate assignments.
More specific information about sanctions is available by reviewing the Sanctioning Guidelines.

Administrative Hold

The Director of Student Conduct will place an administrative hold on a student's University
records when the student fails to complete sanction(s) by the assigned deadline. The
hold will remain in effect until all assigned sanction(s) are completed.

Disciplinary Warning

Disciplinary warning is an official acknowledgment that rules have been violated.
Warnings are for a designated period of time and include the probability of more severe
disciplinary sanctions if the student is found responsible for further violations of
the Code of Student Conduct while on warning. At the discretion of campus offices
and programs, students on warning may be ineligible for employment and/or participation
in certain campus programs.

Disciplinary Probation

Disciplinary probation is a serious and active response to a violation of rules and
may include educational sanctions or other requirements as a term of the probation.
Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more
severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found responsible for further violations of
the Code of Student Conduct during the probationary period. While on probation, students
may be ineligible to receive certain University awards or scholarships. At the discretion
of campus offices and programs, students on probation may be ineligible for employment
and/or participation in certain campus programs.

Loss of Visitation Privileges

Loss of privileges is the loss of specified privileges such as use of a particular
facility, visitation to a residence hall, housing priority, contact with an individual
or other privileges for a designated period of time.

Educational Projects and Community Service

These sanctions involve the completion of projects, assignments, essays, service to
the University, facilitation of or participation in programs or other related assignments.

Restitution

Restitution may include payment to an individual or to the University to cover the
cost of damage, destruction, defacement, theft or unauthorized use of property. It
may also include payment for medical bills not covered by insurance.

Relocation or Removal from Housing

Relocation is the reassignment of a student from one living space to another. Removal
from housing is the removal of a student from all University-operated housing. Relocation
and removal from housing are usually accompanied by loss of visitation privileges to
specified residential areas, and are imposed for a specified period of time.

Final Probation

Final probation is imposed only in very serious cases or cases where students are
currently under a significant sanction. Final probation may include removal from all
University housing and loss of visitation privileges to buildings or areas of campus
and is imposed for a specified period of time. Students found responsible for any
further violation of the Code of Student Conduct while on final probation may be suspended
from the University.

Suspension

of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission
may be specified. Students who have been suspended may not be on campus without specific,
written permission of the dean of students.

who have been expelled may not be on campus without specific, written permission of
the dean of students.
